How it feels

It feels like piloting a nimble ship through claustrophobic corridors, dodging lasers and blasting robots in chaotic zero-gravity combat.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call this a faithful resurrection of Descent by the original team. Some find the levels repetitive and the pace slow, while others praise the secret hunting and the optional guidebot. The upgrade system is seen as unobtrusive by most but a few say it breaks the save structure.
